Three-Dimensional Shapes Part 2: Calculating Volume

from Professor Dave Explains Hosted by Professor Dave Explains

We introduced a number of three-dimensional shapes in the last clip, but we still just talked about two-dimensional surface area. What's up with that? Alright, alright, let's learn how to calculate the three-dimensional volume that a shape will occupy. This is like the amount of water that a shape could hold if it was perfectly hollow. This can be a little tricky for the more complicated shapes, but there are equations we can memorize if we so desire.
